[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

My television seems to be well and truly donald ducked.......We have had it since 2002.....so I suppose it is only to be expected. :-/ :-/ :-/

When I switch it on........an orange/yellow mist slowly moves in from the right of the screen before covering it completely....

Does anyone know of any good offers available at the moment? .....£500 is my limit....

You may be better having a surf Opti, most sites include user reviews these days and to be honest, unless you are a perfectionist, there isn't that much difference. (Unless, of course, you are interested in this new-fangled HD stuff)

[Mysteryman]

Forgot to mention, John Lewis will give you a five year guarantee with your new telly.

Have you had a speaker stood near the Tv, seems odd that a Tb has only managed 8 years service. unluss it was just a cheapie in the 1st place (no disrepect meant by that comment)

I've had it then. My telly has a speaker either side of the screen, but I cant remove them as they are inside the cabinet. Must be a design fault.

Thanks Mr Steve........I understand that the valves warm up much more quickly on a new HD T.V...

here's the fella Opti, HD Ready as opposed to full HD, but you're not going to notice, Panasonic Viera - very good TV's - 50" of plasma loveliness for £500 that's £10 per inch

That's correct. And all the heat comes out of the front, instead of the back.

And with a 50" plasma, you'll save on the heating bills.

It'a a silver .....Philips Black line S.....32 inch old style telly ...Skrunts....

when ours went, decided we didnt want one of these new fangled slim things just yet...

got a nice Sony 32" crt for nowt off the local freegle / freecycle group.
just 5 miles down the road to collect 

depending what you want, maybe worth a look 
ours has a fair few tellys go through as people 'upgrade' to massive flat panels

Money is tight so :-/........this may be worth looking into....thanks Mr JB...

given the way the tv market is evolving so fast with plasma / lcd / led....
sizes and technology improving, along with freeview / sat and HD, we were more than happy to take a back seat approach while things evolve, in the hope that when we do have to buy a new telly, our £ will go much further and we will be happier with what we end up with.
